See? It's not all bad, this Nations League business.
Having only become a Uefa-affiliated team in 2013, Gibraltar had lost every single one of their qualifying matches for Euro 2016 and the 2018 World Cup.
There only two victories - over Malta and Latvia - had come in friendlies.
However, taking on Armenia in Yerevan, they were able to record their first ever competitive victory courtesy of a second-half penalty from Joseph Chipolina.
Armenia, who had Arsenal's Henrikh Mkhitaryan in their side, remain above Gibraltar in group D4 but only on goal difference.
The full-time whistle was greeted with scenes of celebration from the visiting players and coaching staff, as can be seen in the videos below.

The Armenian FA also apologised to Gibraltar after the wrong national anthem was played instead of theirs before kick-off.
Instead, the anthem of Liechtenstein was mistakenly played in the Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium.
